Following the news that Lachlan Lam may be making a move away from Leigh Leopards to another Super League side, fans have reacted.
According to Rugby League Live, he has been offered to Super League clubs because he has activated the clause in this contract with Leigh that would allow him to head to another side.
However, the legitimacy of this clause is being disputed by the club, so will be a story to follow over the coming weeks.
Now, the Hull Daily Mail is reporting that Hull FC are keen to make the signing themselves. That interest has been effectively confirmed by Sky Sports’ Jenna Brooks who reported last night that FC had ‘got their man’ for 2025 in reference to Lam.
Lachlan Lam would become yet another signing from Leigh Leopards, further to John Asiata, Zak Hardaker and more.

Prior to Sky’s bombshell confirmation, Serious About Rugby League asked its followers where his next club should be, and here’s a selection of the responses.
Many supporters said Hull FC, which now seems to be the likely destination.
This would, of course, see him playing again with many of the players he plays alongside this year.
Phillip Freeman: “Considering all his mates are there and they already work well together fc”
Mark Pepper: “Hull with the rest of his team mates 😂😂”
Tony Charlesworth: “Dull FC so he can be with his old team mates 👍🏻”
Gareth Northey: “Hull fc like the rest of his team 😂😂😂”
Christopher Thornton: “Hull FC Trueman getting fitter by the day they would make a great 6 and 7”
However, many suggested St Helens, who are losing Lewis Dodd at the end of the season, due to his signing for South Sydney Rabbitohs in NRL.
David Watts: “Could see him at saints”
JC Hallo: “Saints 2 years then NRL , perfect fit, he won’t get any further with Leigh”
Mick Ward: “Saints as long as he doesn’t bring his old fella with him 🤣”
David Pemberton: “Saints the last Lachlan we had was pretty good wasn’t he”
Others said NRL may make the most sense rather than another Super League club.
Leigh Leopards suggest that the clause in his contract can only be activated if there’s interest from NRL rather than Super League.
Steve Morley: “If it’s not Leigh it won’t be a SL club, only place he can go next season is NRL🤷”
Robbie Raz Azaraz-Turner: “He will go to the NRL”
Daniel Bidder-Potts: “North Queensland Cowboys”
Others suggested a number of other clubs.
Maureen Walker: “New look Wakefield Trinity”
George Brannan: “Rovers link up well with Mikey lewis”
Callum Gino Moore: “Warrington next to williams would be class”
Luke Parnell: “Salford, so he can learn from the main man Sneyd 🔥”
